The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.

In addition to or in elaboration of the catalogue entry:
- the full sheets
- occasional minor soiling
- soft creasing at the extreme sheet corners, the horizontal plate with a few oblique creases at the lower left corner

Otherwise as described in the catalogue and generally in good condition.
